Fiction books

This collection moves from family and friendship to historical lives, romance, myth and stories with a mystery at their centre. Choose by the emotional engine you want: a warm connection, a difficult homecoming, a second chance, a reimagined myth or a secret that changes how the past looks. The catalogue includes standalone novels, series books and interconnected stories. Individual guides flag reading order only when it has been verified; if commitment matters, check the book page before starting.

Choose Remarkably Bright Creatures for a warm standalone about grief, connection and an unusual aquarium mystery. The Correspondent offers a quieter life assembled through letters and relationships, while The Wedding People concentrates unexpected connection inside a social gathering. These are starting points by mood, not a ranked canon.

Liberty Street combines a 1961 prison investigation with a later cold case. Daughter of Egypt turns toward women, archaeology and who receives credit in the historical record. An Infinite Love Story moves into the 1968 Space Race through a marriage, a disappearance and questions that official explanations cannot settle.

Choose My Friends for friendship, art and the long afterlife of formative relationships. Road Trip uses estranged sisters, an inherited painting and a journey to Ireland to mix family conflict with mystery and humour.

The Night We Met suits readers looking for friendship, missed timing and emotionally intense contemporary romance. Summer State of Mind offers a summer setting and a different balance of relationships, reinvention and atmosphere. Check the individual guides for sensitive themes rather than treating “romance” as a guarantee of a light tone.

Choose Circe for a mythic reimagining centred on voice, power and exile. Paper Ghosts blends magical realism, Southern atmosphere and family memory across two timelines. One looks back through ancient myth; the other makes inherited history feel quietly supernatural.

The Midnight Hour leans into atmosphere, family memory and a hidden past. The Last Daughter of Highdown Hall offers another route through inheritance and long held secrets. Choose this section when you want mystery pressure without moving fully into the crime catalogue.
